Last night's distant view of Neptune and Triton. Good conditions with the 24in scope at ~10m focal length.

Here it is. Hamas hunger propaganda staging 101. A staged Hunger event on the left. Then group on the right has a lesson on how to act in front of a camera (see on table) before entering staging area for their turn. You are being manipulated

A quick snap of Uranus with the 24in scope low in the sky before twilight. To my surprise, the elusive rings were readily visible in just 15 minutes of exposure, and far surpasses anything I've achieved with my other 16in scope - the power of aperture showing its face once again

“It may sound really crazy, and in a sense closer to science fiction,” said Dr. Cosimo Bambi. “But people said we’d never detect gravitational waves because they’re too weak. We did—100 years later.” buff.ly/VLNwiFI

“People want one number that lets them know whether it’s safe to go running outside or take their kid to the playground,” said Dr. Claire Schollaert. “It’s our job as researchers to try to figure out how to make that information as reliable as possible.” buff.ly/et0WQx7

And she ordered 40 of them.

Anthony Albanese has been praised by the terrorist group Hamas for his decision to recognise a Palestinian state. Mr Albanese has emboldened a terror group who murder civilians in cold blood and still hold 50 Israeli hostages. Hang your head in shame, Albo.

🚨 SPREAD THE WORD: As we take on Melbourne this Saturday afternoon, let’s applaud Punky by standing up and clapping in the 22nd minute of the game during the first quarter. Share it around, let’s give Punky the love he deserves. 🫶

“If confirmed, the potential planet seen in the Webb image of Alpha Centauri A would mark a new milestone for exoplanet imaging efforts,” said Aniket Sanghi. buff.ly/MXGad1N

Scientists search for life on exoplanets by studying their atmospheres, climates, and surfaces for signs of habitability. Detecting biosignatures like water vapor, oxygen, or methane could point to living organisms and reveal that life exists beyond Earth in the universe.

This morning's view of Saturn, neatly flanked by the moons of Tethys, Dione and Rhea. Sensational views at the eyepiece also!

Victoria again! Two teenagers are among three men who have been arrested after the group, including one with a machete, allegedly terrorised a dad in a frightening home invasion in Kew at 4am this morning. The police say they've "never seen anything like this". After hearing

#MondayMotivation with 30mins into NGC7023, the "Iris Nebula". A promising target for further/longer exposures 😊🖖

It doesn't matter if you don't look like me. It doesn't matter if you don't sound like me. It doesn't matter if you don't have the same skin colour, hair colour eye colour. None of that matters. What matters is that you love this country and that you love the people in it,

“While not every aspect of the space environment can be replicated, our tests create realistic particle impacts,” said Dr. Sidney Chocron. buff.ly/3GgI3E2

Dr. Dane Morey: “The point is this is not about making really good safety-critical system technology. It’s the joint human-machine capabilities that matter in a safety-critical system.” buff.ly/E0ClrZl

Dr. Robert Lysak: “While plasma can behave like a fluid, it is also influenced by its own magnetic fields and external fields.” buff.ly/WVbkiYN
